Book Synopsis

Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first century
In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules affect human behavior. When crisis hitswhether that be extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or natural disasterslawyers are increasingly among the first responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the regulations of this ever more complex world.
Crisis Lawyering explores this phenomenon and attempts to identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists;
